QBE International Markets is set to launch a new US Inland Marine offering by 2025 across all 50 states as it expands its specialty product suite and hires a new team.
The team and product will be added to QBE International Market’s growing Ocean Marine and Energy divisions, based in Houston, Texas, led by Kristina Bush.
Industry veteran Sharon Primerano has been appointed as Vice President, US Inland Marine Manager for QBE International Markets and is joined by Tiffany Lewis as Vice President, Marine and Max Dambach as Underwriter. Prior to QBE, they worked at AIG.
Sean Dollahon, Vice President, US Marine Manager for QBE’s International Markets said:
“We’re pleased to announce the new QBE Inland Marine offering in the US, expanding upon our existing marine and energy portfolios.”
“Sharon Primerano is an Inland Marine market veteran with experience managing some of the largest and most successful Inland Marine portfolios in the US. The team is further boosted by the hires of Tiffany and Max who also have several years of experience underwriting ocean marine and Inland Marine between them.
“The new suite of Inland Marine products, available by January 2025, seek to complement our growing marine proposition and means we will be delivering a broad set of solutions to meet the needs of our clients and brokers.”
All three joined QBE International Markets in late September 2024. Sharon is based in New York. Tiffany and Max are based in Houston.
